Morning, afternoon and night game drives lead by experienced and knowledgeable guides will be done in an open-sided safari vehicle. During the safari we'll lookout for wildlife including elephant, giraffe, buffalo, sable antelope, common duiker and a variety of bird species such as ostrich, brown snake eagle, lilac-breasted roller and swallow-tailed bee-eater. Our vehicles hold a maximum of 6 guests, so everyone has a "window" seat.

These will be taken by an experienced guide for a more intimate experience of the sounds and scents of the wild. The area is well suited for walks through the camelthorn forests to marvel at elephants.
